A couple of reddit threads I've looked at have drawn the conclusion that choosing Improved Combat Maneuver as one of your three combat feats to go with Adaptive Fighting effectively gives you limited access to all versions of Improved Combat Maneuver.
The reasoning goes like this:
"Adaptive Fighting says that once per day 'you can gain the benefit of one of these feats'. The 'Benefit' line of Imp. Combat Maneuver begins with '(c)hoose one combat maneuver'. Put those together, and I'd say it allows you to pick the maneuver each time you use Adaptive Fighting."
According to the most pedantic reading of the rules as written, that is the absolutely correct. And I really want use that combination to round out my swashbuckling dwarven space capatain.
...and yet, I just can't convince myself that is the intended interpretation of the rules. Can I get an official ruling so I can stop wrestling with this moral dilemma?
